Multiple Issues with TestComplete 15.51.4.7

I upgraded our PCs to TC 15.51.4.7 and we encountered multiple severe issues.

Issue #1 - The WaitAliasChild function is not working. Smartbear has acknowledged this and they are "working on a solution". We use WaitAliasChild in a common function that gets called throughout our testing so this broke a lot for us.

Issue #2 - The ClickItem method is not working properly for HTML select statements. It does not click the correct item. It occurs with ClickItem(0) or ClickItem("option").

I submitted both items to support. Just posting to let others know exactly what I encountered since it seems like others were having issues with this release.

We also had our tests break due to the clickitem issue. I'd used "keys" to workaround which I wasnt happy with. Support offered the solution of "click" followed by clickitem("option-text") which worked.

Did anyone try upgrading to the latest version?
15.51.18.7
It seems that the waitAliasChild still does not work. 🤔

    Interesting. I performed additional testing today and verified ClickItem is working for me. I am using the latest version of TC (15.51.26.7) and Chrome (113.0.5672.127). My testing is specific to a webpage that is using an HTML Select element.
    
    I did not verify WaitAliasChild functionality because we eliminated it from our scripts entirely.
